About Regirock that can unlock a Key to other areas for Regice and Registeel. I don't want to catch it just yet in White 2 because I'm saving for when I have the Shiny Charm to catch the Legendaries in Shiny in a legit way, I'm afraid if I catch Regirock to unlock the Link Key that it will save my file of my captured Regirock.
Is that true if I capture Regirock it will save my game file when I unlock a Link Key or it's just the Link Key that will be saved and not my game file of my captured Regirock?

The game needs to be saved in order to unlock the Key, but it does not do so automatically (E.g you need to save the game yourself). I suggest you find someone who can trade you the Dex Data for Regirock (As well as the others if you need them) or transfer them in from another game, which is how I did it.

PM me if you add me for X and Y so I can add you too! I apparently give Sandile, Nuzleaf, and Liepard in the Friend Safari.

I tested out wild foes using Dragon Tail, because I remember it once not ending the battle. So today, I tried it against a Level 47 Druddigon with my Level 100 Altaria, and the Druddigon used Dragon Tail but it did not end the battle. Then I ran into a Level 50 Druddigon, and I had a Level 50 Poliwhirl out, and it used Dragon Tail, which (after getting a critical hit and knocking me down to like 1/5 my health) ended the battle. Afterward another one at Level 47 used it twice against my Level 57 Gengar and neither time did it end the battle.

Does Dragon Tail not end wild battles if the foe is of a higher level than the user or something? I'd like some clarification here. Thanks!

So I have been spending a significant amount of time in White 2, the first one in the series that I have really gotten in to. Super excited about X and Y!

One aspect I am really enjoying and want to learn more about is breeding. I had two specific questions though, and another related.

First, are natures random? I know you can use an everstone to pass one down, but I assume you just roll until you get one you want.

Second, I understand IV's are partially random, whereas you can force some to be passed down. Is there a good way to get to a host with a perfect, or very high stat, to then pass down from there? Or just keep trying to roll and get lucky, then save that one?

Lastly, when ditto breeding, do the answers to the above two still apply?

That is correct.

There's not a surefire way of getting something with high IVs, it's still all down to luck.

Lastly, when ditto breeding, do the answers to the above two still apply?

so i've been breeding shellder trying to get one with 31 attack and speed IV's
I have a shellder with 31 attack IV's and a ditto with 31 speed IV's
first i tried to use power items on both pokemon to pass the iv's down, except only one at a time ever took effect
so now i put a power item on ditto and tried to breed the two over and over and over
even though the father (shellder) had 31 attack iv's, i never got a shellder with 31 attack iv's

also a quick question about characteristics:
even though they show the highest IV what would happen if there were two highest IV's?
for example, if a pokemon had both 30 hp and 30 defence IV's would it say loves to eat or strong willed as the characteristic?

well, i can use one of the bred pokemon in place of ditto now so i can receive eggs faster, so just replace ditto in my previous post with a female shellder now

still got the same problem though

edit: finally spent all day getting my shellder and i finally got it!
shellder, lonely nature, 31 iv's in both attack and speed with skill link
now all i need to do is ev train it and evolve it until i can have my battle-ready cloyster

My shinies are not for trade or cloning.
Shinies are not listed in order, for example the last shiny on the banner is not always the latest shiny I've obtained.

It can take up to a week for them to reply. But they try to answer them before that. It took me three days for them to reply, and another week to go into my account and see that I only did 7 battles, and so did not qualify for the special berry during one of the wifi tournaments.

Okay thanks for the info, im just wondering because i forgot my account and it had my game sync linked to it :/

If you wanna beat the Battle Subway, bring a Spiritomb+Sableye with ability Wonder Guard and a Salamence with No Guard with you, then youll always win.

That doesn't make any sense.

1. If I'm just going to cheat, then might as well cheat for the BPs instead.
2. Many people have defeated the Subway without cheating.
3. Salamence usually has no need for No Guard, since many of its moves has 100 accuracy anyway. Intimidate or Moxie are much better.

So...I was in black tower, training my dragonite up to level 100, decided to stop, went to the pokemon center to heal and it said my eevee had pokerus. I hadn't used this eevee in a week, how did this happen?

Did you get any other Pokemon in the meantime? You could have caught or traded one that transferred it to your Eevee.

Iam playin Black 2. I traded over my Zekrom and Kyurem from White then caught the Kyurem from Black 2. I fused my White Kyurem and Zekrom. Now when I go to battle N there is no Zoroark and the throne room is empty. What should I do?
